abductionabduct(əbˈdakt) verbabductionenUKabduction[ab′dək·shən]Abductiona marriage practice in which the groom steals the bride. The abduction may be forcible, or it may be done with the prior agreement of the groom’s and bride’s families. According to the prevailing scientific opinion, the first type of abduction was always rare because it led to confrontations between primitive communes and similar groups. The second type, however, was widely practiced, especially among several Northern Caucasian peoples in prerevolutionary times, since it helped eliminate some of the wedding expenses. In a third type, the abduction was simulated, that is, the bride was playfully captured by the groom. This practice is still part of the traditional wedding rituals of many peoples. AbductionBalfour, Davidabduction(logic)"Abduction" is sometimes used to mean just the generation ofhypotheses to explain observations or conclusionsm, but theformer definition is more common both in philosophy andcomputing. The semantics and the implementation of abduction cannot bereduced to those for deduction, as explanation cannot bereduced to implication. Applications include fault diagnosis, plan formation anddefault reasoning. Negation as failure in logic programming can both be givenan abductive interpretation and also can be used to implementabduction. The abductive semantics of negation as failureleads naturally to an argumentation-theoretic interpretationof default reasoning in general. ["Abductive Inference", John R.

The requisite restraint generally requires that the abductor intend to prevent the liberation of the abductee.

Cross-referencesKidnapping. abductionn. the criminal taking away a person by persuasion (convincing someone--particularly a minor or a woman he/she is better off leaving with the persuader), by fraud (telling the person he/she is needed, or that the mother or father wants him/her to come with the abductor), or by open force or violence. Originally abduction applied only to protect women and children as victims. Currently in most states it can also apply to an adult male. In fact, in some states like New York abduction meant the unlawful taking or detention of any female for purposes of "marriage, concubinage or prostitution." Kidnapping is more limited, requiring force, threat of force of an adult or the taking of children. (See: kidnapping) abductionthe wrongful taking away (usually by force) of a person.
